Ashok Bhushan, Ag.CJ. This Writ Petition has been filed by Puramattom Grama Panchayath seeking a mandamus directing respondents 2 and 3 to afford sufficient police protection to enforce Ext. P5 order so as to restrain the mining operations being carried out by respondents 4 to 6.
2. The learned counsel appearing for respondents 4 to 6 submits that the respondents were granted contract for filling red earth to lay down railway line. He further submits that the contract work which was given to respondents 4 to 6 has already W.P. (C ) No. 12691 of 2012 J 2 been over and no kind of operations are being carried out at present and hence, this Writ Petition has become virtually infructuous.
Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous.
